Warrnambool AdBlue Specialists!
AdBlue is a Diesel exhaust fluid used in most late model Diesel Vehicles, as part of their Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system. AdBlue (also known as Diesel Exhaust Fluid or DEF) creates a chemical reaction in the exhaust system converting harmful nitrogen oxides into harmless water & nitrogen.
Fun Fact… AdBlue is not blue at all
AdBlue is the brand name, for the colourless, non-toxic mixture of urea and de-ionised water. It is not a fuel additive, and has a separate reservoir topped up via a (usually) blue filler cap located either next to the diesel fuel tank, or in some cases in the boot or under the bonnet.
Going green has us all going blue (AdBlue), but drivers are now seeing red…
It is common to need an AdBlue top-up in-between services, which has led to many clients stranded on the side of some of Australia’s longest roads or way out in the far paddock.
We can tune your machinery remotely!
We have the ability to send you hardware that allows us to tune your machinery from our office. We recently disabled an AdBlue system on a Case tractor that was stuck in a paddock on King Island, right from our office in Warrnambool!
What to do if you accidentally put AdBlue into your fuel tank…
Removing AdBlue is critical if you have inadvertently filled the wrong tank. As it is an exhaust fluid, it cannot be added to the fuel tank. If you have made this error, stop wherever you are and do not drive the vehicle, and call us!
Not removing AdBlue from your fuel system, could cause significant corrosion of engine components and pipework and could even result in the entire fuel system needing to be replaced. We can assist you, drain the fuel tank removing all AdBlue and Diesel Fuel and disposing of the contaminated fluid, we’ll also check for any permanent damage.
